Class of 2020 PF Isaiah Jackson (MI/SpireAcademyOH) to Kentucky

[Cusesky8214]

Does anyone have a fishes and loaves feel for UK? I mean they have 5 kids coming in so far in 2020 and were not sure how many are going to be going pro after this year, which might not turn out to be one of their better years. I doubt both Montgomery and Richard's are going pro (possibly neither). How may spots are they likely to have open?

The talk from the UK media guys is that both will leave regardless of how the year plays out for them be it the nba/overseas/g league. So far their play hasnt been great and EJ has been out with injury.

Sticking with my rule of thumb: SU rarely fares well in these situations. And until there’s a coaching change, I don’t think we’ll be landing any elite recruits. We’ll see.

We are in it to win it

That's my take

 

[Cusesky8214]

No one knows a thing!

They have a ton of wings and few bigs (especially centers). There's been rumors of another 2021 (PF Paolo Banchero) reclassifying. Wouldn't be surprised if they get Cliff Omoruyi to commit because they a sooo thin at center. That would put them needing to free up three scholarships, four if IJ commits to UK.

As far as EJ Mongomery or Nick Richards moving on, they don't seem ready but that never stopped people before. And at least one wing is bound to move on.

End result - If Cal wants a player he finds a way to have an available scholarship.

I'm going to guess it's not bama. That's it...that's all I got.

I think you'll see a lot of crystal ball movement to UK only because it's the safe bet and these media guys dont want to be wrong.

I can live with losing a recruit to pay pal cal and his cheaters losing to Alabama would be a joke.

Perfect, now all I have to do is pick a shoe to drink beer out of tomorrow.

Man this guy would be such a huge commit. Ferocious dunker and rim protector -- you pretty much couldn't envision a better fit on our roster than Jackson.

Total game changer if we snag him.

 

[Sherman20]

it's going to be hilarious, after all of this, when he goes ahead and picks michigan anyway

Lol, that would be hilarious after all this. But I think you mean Michigan State. That was where people originally thought he’d go.

 

[Cusesky8214]

Bama/oats getting stomped by 20 right now against URI. Take not Isaiah!

 

[Wrinkle]

We're talking a guy who would be the best big man athlete we've had in some time, and the motor and swag to match.

Awesome tape from this guy, his rankings seem quite low considering.

HT: URI 50, Bama 33

 

[721Comstock]

HT: URI 50, Bama 33

IF they had a player like IJ...

... they might only be losing by 10 at the half to a mid-major!

But they’re will be peeps that will say The Hill is his next job...

 

[Cusesky8214]

Such a crazy recruitment...literally no one knows. Usually Tipton has a good idea where these kids are going and hes going with "no prediction"

 

[Cusesky8214]

Wow...worth the read. Isaiahs dad just did a quick interview with chris fisher. Here's a small part of it.

"Everybody will find out tomorrow," Jackson said. "Whatever school he commits to, he's signing with. We have NLI's from all three schools."

Jackson's choice came down to overall fit.

"It was more or less a matter of what fits his personality and who had the best to offer as far as a program," Jackson said. "Syracuse was who I liked, Alabama was who he liked, and Kentucky was who we both liked so it ended up being a good three."

 

[Cusesky8214]

To me that means we are 3rd. Dad likes us. Kid likes bama and UK. We are recruting the kid not the dad.
